[quote=Anonymous]Both of my kids did immersion (no English at school till first grade) and both have always tested ahead in both languages. One was basically off the charts in both (we knew that she was reading way above grade level in English before preK, and we sought out language immersion to give her a challenge), and one has consistently tested 2+ grades ahead in English and 1-2 in Spanish. I wouldn't worry about trying to get farther and farther ahead in reading. The concept of reading levels is basically a moot point once you have a highly fluent reader. Does your child love books? Is he happy, engaged, and at least occasionally challenged? Immersion has been great for our kids. Can't recommend it highly enough.[/quote]
